A Worthy Disciple Who Could not Be Spared—She [Dorcas]
had been a worthy disciple of Jesus Christ, and her life had been char-
acterized by deeds of charity and kindness to the poor and sorrowful
and by zeal in the cause of truth. Her death was a great loss; the infant
church could not well spare her noble efforts....
This great work of raising the dead to life was the means of con-
verting many in Joppa to the faith of Jesus.—
